I have compared sizes of many vehicles and if the Tesla has the same footprint as a crewcab 6.5ft bed F-150 (which it does from all info I have collected so far), that is about as large as I want to go. A Ram 2500 is a bit bigger than I want.

The fact that the Tesla Cybertruck will be cheaper than the Model Y and hold as many people and looks like room in the bed for my motorcycle... I think I am good with the size.
A f150 is the same physical size as a F250. A Ram 1500 is the same size as a 2500, and the Tesla is similar too. What the Tesla must have to claim a 3500 pound payload is a 10,000 pound GVWR at LEAST which means it's a 2500 or 3500 series pickup nit a 1500. It also will weigh more than my 2500 Suburban does as a model X is only 200 pounds lighter.
